Reviewed additional changes to chapter 4:
Section 4.4.4: Added in example and figure from Ken's original proposal. Only
comment was to go through some of the wording of the section to make it more
formal.

Section 4.5.4.3 - noise_table().
This change was to allow overloading of the first argument to noise_table to
allow it to be either a string (representing a file name) or a vector.
Minor changes were:
   * vector should not be italic anymore.
   * input should be in italics.
   * filename is actually two words, file name.
   * Allow the new string variable type for the file name but mention that if
the variable is modified during the simulation, the change is ignored.
   * The is no need for the frequency to be specified in ascending order.
Simulators can sort it internally. look at table model and use similar wording.


Section 10.2 - $simprobe
   * In the context table for $simprobe, disallow it in the digital world.
   * Also misspelling of simulation in the table header.

Section 10.8 - $finish
   * Check the syntax box, seems to be missing ].

Section 10.17 - $simprobe
   * New string variable type can be used where strings are required. Also
there is not restriction on the string variable changing during simulation.
   * refer to output variables instead of parameters, or output parameters.
   * Few changes to the example
     - make threshold unrestricted
     - look at other example where we instantiate spice models. May want to
change the device names to spice_pmos, spice_nmos.
     - Just check the formating of the strings to make sure they are terminated
with a ".
     - To be consistent have a space between the if (
   * Change the wording to be from "error is generated" to "error shall be
generated."
   * use $finish instead of $stop()

Need to check with Martin regarding chapters 10.5 and 10.6.

Cheers...
Dave
